Nice work. I’d be more than comfortable with that bottom end. That thing should run very nice. I bet 600 horse easy.
I've done the recommended jetting changes in these carbs according to Edelbrock. We'll see what happens.Overall, it’s a pretty nice setup for a street cruiser. I do suspect you may have some lean out issues that may be difficult to tune out when the secondaries start to open.
Every blower company seems to have a different idea of what makes a "blower" cam. The only commonality I see is using 112 or 114 lsa. That's usually accompanied by the comments of decreasing overlap. Yet there are much bigger so called blower cams ground on 114 but have a lot of overlap due to their increased duration. Also, it's often recommended to have more exhaust duration. Which makes sense to me. BDS grinds theirs on a 110. The old man from Dyers said he really likes the 280, 474 Mopar Performance cam. It seems there is no real perfect cam. Its about your usage. Just like naturally aspirated.You should easily make over 600 at 9 psi maybe the upper side of 600 with a decent blower cam .
So do other companies. Yet they're all slightly different.Bullet cams has some very specialized blower cams.
It might be worth it to you to get this guy’s opinion..

He’ll design a custom cam for you to.

I figured the cam I had is very close to his recommendation, so I used it.With him recommending it, there’s nothing better for your setup for your intended goals. That whole setup is going to be a lot of fun. It’s should work well enough long enough that you may not ever see the need in the big power blown RB. I would like to see a pair of 4150 DP’s or a single dominator, though. There’s almost no such thing as too much pump shot with a supercharger. It’s a lot safer than not enough pump shot with a blower.
I'm not even sure what I'm putting it in yet.The 650 DPs would technically be the most correct for the set up right now, but I don’t think you’ll have any real issues with the Edelbrock carbs. If you’re running 1:1 direct linkage with them, you I’ll probably be going into instant wheel spin anytime you even get close to the secondaries opening. What tires, gears, and transmission?
It's gotta be pre 1974. I have a few cars but they all run good as is. Although My 69 Fury 4 door could use a little more get up and go.I suggest a D100 or a Dakota with ladder bars and coil overs.
It has 2.94s too. I'd have to build a 727 for it also. I have one from a mid 70s motorhome. Should be heavy duty and have part throttle kick down.The fury would really be cool with that. You could really let that eat some prolonged boost with some 2.94 gears.

It has 15x8 inch wheels on the rear now, I have some 275/60-15s that'd fit.Great looking car! Got any more pics? I bet you could get some wide tires under the rear of that one, too. I would do the full house Cope or A&A racing build with a billet drum, bolt in sprag, and a custom converter with that.
I do have another hood to chop a big hole in. It already has a 360 in it, so easy swap. Just needs a new radiator, 727, and a different driveshaft.That would be such a mind trip with a boosted small block. Definitely will want to tie the frame rails together. That would be fun to use until next winter, then swap to a boosted 440. Especially if you have good heads and a stroker crank. The torque of a black hole!
I think you've found your candidate. I would put it on top of a tunnel ram with the Rude Ron spacer. I'd call him and do a custom 8" spacer on top of the tunnel ram. LOLIt has 15x8 inch wheels on the rear now, I have some 275/60-15s that'd fit.
